While the seat is used in booster mode the shoulder belt must be routed over the child’s shoulder. The belt must pass under the head rest, between the head rest and the seat as long as the child’s shoulders are at or below the opening between the head rest and shell. If the child’s shoulders are high enough that routing the shoulder belt under the head rest causes the belt to be pulled down the back side of the child’s shoulder (before passing through the head rest) the belt should not be routed between the seat and the head rest. If the shoulder height causes the belt to route behind the back and the top of the ears are still at or below the top of the head rest, the shoulder belt should be routed on top of the head rest.
39 38 Securing Your Child Restraint in Aircraft The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) recommends that you secure your child for air travel in an appropriate child restraint based on your child’s weight and size. Turbulence can happen with little or no warning. When turbulence occurs, the safest place for your child is in a properly installed child restraint, not in an adult’s lap or on the aircraft seat with its seat belt. Keeping your child in a child restraint during the flight will help ensure your family arrives safely at your destination. The FAA recommends that a child weighing:* • more than 18 kg (40 lbs) use an aircraft seat belt; • less than 9 kg (20 lbs) use a rear-facing child restraint; and • from 9 to 18 kg (20 to 40 lbs) use a forward-facing child restraint. * Please note that these FAA recommendations may vary from those applicable to the use of your child restraint in a motor vehicle. Installing Child Restraint in Aircraft IMPORTANT: Before installing the child restraint, make sure the aircraft seat is in a fully upright position. 1. Place the child restraint in position. Place the child restraint on the aircraft seat forward-facing, as shown above.
Route the aircraft seat belt through the belt path opening in the back of the child restraint and continue through the opening on the opposite side of the child restraint.
The aircraft seat belt must be as tight as possible. Route the excess aircraft seat belt strap back through the belt path opening. Using your full weight, push the child restraint firmly onto the aircraft seat while pulling on the excess seat belt strap to tighten. Note: Because of the fixed length of aircraft seat belts, the belt buckle could be behind the child’s back after tightening the belt. For your child’s comfort, Evenflo recommends cushioning the child’s back by placing a small pillow or folded-up blanket, or a folded-up jacket, over the belt buckle. Check your work: Reconnect the seat pad to the front of the child restraint. Try to move the child restraint in all directions. If you can move the restraint more than 25 mm (1 in) from side-to-side or front to back at the belt path, the aircraft seat belt is not tight enough, and you
install again until the seat belt is tight. IMPORTANT This child restraint can only be used with a 5-point harness in aircraft. This restraint cannot be used in booster mode in aircraft. 4. Secure Your Child in the Child Restraint.
